THE CODY MATTER FINALLY SETTLED UP.

A final settlement has at length been
reached in the celebrated Cody case. All
the suits, and from the beginning there
were about twelve of them, between Dr.
James Cody, Theresa Cody his wife, and
VIM. G. Cody, DR.. Cody's son by his frat
wife, are dismissed and settled, stipula-
tons to this effect having been duly signed
by the. parties within the past few DAYS.
Mrs. Cody accepts $4,000 in lieu of all
dover or other interest on DR.. Cody's es-
tate and she reassigns all personal proper
ty which she had obtained from her hus-
band, including mortgages and notes.
According to the stipulations Mrs Cody
takes the two minor sons to support dur
ing their minority and she deeds back the
homestead valued at about $1,000. A
judicial separation takes place between
DR.. Cody and his wife by divorce granted
by Judge Stewart, of the Dane County
circuit court, on the ground of desertion
DR.. Cody having lived apart from his wife
for two years past.
Mrs. Cody removes from the homestead
within fifteen days. Thus the curtain is
drawn on one OF the most celebrated cases
that ever appeared in the court calendars
of the state. 1t has been long, bitter
legal contest. The litigation between the
parties at issue has extended through a
period of about three years, and at least
$4,000 have been expended in taking
legal proceedings. DR.. Cody large prac-
tice is ruined and out OF his once valuable
property about all that is left is the home
stead, the Fifth ward farm and some
$4,000.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul
Railway company has adopted the idea of
carrying hand grenade fire extinguishers
on the passenger coaches, for use in the
event of a fire. There are twenty-five
grenades in each coach, and they are sus-
pended at either end of the car above the
stoves. The idea is a commendable one,
and we learn that the Chicago & North
Western Railway company will also adopt
the plan soon.
We have examined the system adopt
ed by the United States and Canada
Dealers Protective and Detective asso-
citation, represented here by their agent,
ia. Hollem, and consider it the best We
have seen to enforce payment of old, bad
and outlawed notes and accounts, and a
protection against that class who don't
intend to pay their bills; believing that if
generally used it would make dishonest
debtors more honest, and therefore rec
ommend it to the candid consideration of
the business community.

ping. The popular movement In
Wales against the collection OF church
tithss, Is spreading to The accompAni-
ment OF shouting crowdr, resistance to
the police, and scenes similar to those
attending evictions in Ireland. This
proves an additional embarrassment to
the Cabinet. As Mr.. T. P. O'Connor,
NJ. P, sums up the situation, "there Is
no sign Of reunion Ct the Liberals, but
rather increased hatred and a widen
ing chssm. The parliamentary position
is also without change, while outside
the friends OF Ireland are getting
fiercer, every day the masses display
ing rising excitement. The Unionisti
have been refused hearing in sev
eral towns. As the conflict continutt

THE SURPLUS.

II political demsgoguery does not
prevail over good sense the Demo-
cratic majority in the next House OF
Representatives may easily make a
satisfactory disposition Of the surplus
in the Treasury. An appropriation Of
s65 100000 or $40, 900, COO in aid of the
public schools Of the South and cur
tailment Of the public revenue to an
amount equal to the ordinary and ex.
traordinary appropriations for the
government would DO it. The appro-
priations for the fi:cal year 1888 show
decrease as compared with those Of
18S7-not q very large decrease, but
one which is of importance under the
circumstances. The appropriations
for 1887, exclusive OF the permanent
appropriations amounted to $263. 9l4,-
613 20. The appropriations for 1888
amount to $24S,568, $3.50 81, a decrease,
as will be seen, of over 100000. In
addition to this it is estimated that
there will be q decrease Of over ST.
100000 In the permanent appropria.
tons. On the other hand, the excess
OF income over expenditure shows no
sign OF a decrease, but slight an.
nual increase. Besides the injustice
inflicted upon the people in the main
tensnce OF tariff that is iniquitously
unjust, this eteady accretion Of sur
plus is core temptation to the politi'
cal demagogues whom we always have
with US. This temptation can easily
be put out OF the way by the &C
complishmept Of great good. for the
majority Of the people whose interests
should be the special care Of the Dem
ocratic party. Secretary Jordan hiss
shown by a ery.csreful computation
that the whole public debt, greenback,
and bonds, can be paid by the yeai
1908 without the continuance Of THU
surplus taxation and merely by com
formity to the sinking fund law ant
the regular annual appropriation
therefor. There is. therefore, nc
justiflab'e necessity for the continu
ance of the present tariff law, and i
the Democratic leaders are wise the!
will revise it upon an equitable basic
relieve the people Of unjust taxes snt
take from the scheming demagopu
the chance he covets OF increasing b
means Of surplus revenue the pension
and other tcheme, by which the coun
try is today robbed Of millions.

.COSTON STILL KING. ~

The New Orleans Cotton World of
Saturday last contains an article, with
the above for it's title and text, that is
full of interesting information as to the
part the staple has played in maintain
ing for the United States the balance
Of trade. 1t quotes from the address
of Mr.. Gardner, president of the Ma
tional Cotton Exchange, delivered at
White Sulphur Springs, w. Va, In
1885, the statement that the public
debt was $2,7;5,OO00OO in 1856, that
the yearly balances were sgainet US,
causing an annual drain of coin and
bullion for their adjustment; 1t shows
the part cotton played in maintaining
the balances OF trade in the thirteen
years from 1885 to 1877, when the ex-
ports Of the United States, exclusive of
coin and bullion, were about So $780,
600, 900, Of which cotton goodr,
seed, meal and oil contributed
So, 200, 100000, or nearly twofiths
Of the whole amount. This was
certainly, as the Cotton World de-
claree, a great achievement for the
South in the frat twelve years after
the decimating civil war, with thor
oughly disorganized labor system and
amid the heated a0iIations made
necessary by the reconstruction sys
tenn. But the Cotton World doei
not stop here. 1t presents tho iapit
growth OF the West and the part thai
the export OF its products, such al
breadstuffs, provisions and dairy pro
ducts, played In maintaining these
balances. In 1877 these togethe
amounted to $685. 500, 429, in 1880 I,
$4l9, 25S, O9S; in 1881 the wheat ant
wheat -four exports alone went owe
$780, 900, 600, and in 1856 the combine,
breadstufis, provisions and dairy pre-
duct exports amounted to only $2l6
57l, ia, the cotton export Of that yea
being $205, 0S5, 642. The West has nc
been able to hold its own sgsinst tn
ryots Of India, the fellahs Of Egypt @

wrong does not justify another.
The public man whose character lie
not proof sgainst assaults, how
ever Incorporate or eevere, can
not hope to hoist himself into public
confidence, respect or esteem by de-
liberately planned assassination. The
weight Of the testimony is against
Hamilton AMI those who aided him In
the commission OF an awful crime.
Even conceding the righteousness Of
the bloody code, the ld.blooded code
that plans for position and
weapon whereby one antagonist
may get an advantage over the
other-even concedlng this code,
Hamilton Is wrong. He should have
challenged Gsmbrell. But this would
be against the spirit Of an age that be-
lieves above all things in law and or
der-in the civilization that says,
"Thou shalt do no murder" No CON-
domination OF the incorporate zeal Of
young GambreIl will save or miti-
gate the crime OF Hamilton. GAM
brell was the victim, according to the
evidence rendered before the coroner
and chancellor, Of a deliberately
planned assassination. The assassine
had been looking for him at the depot,
and they overhanle1 him on the lone
ly bridge where they supposed there
were no witnesses to their infamous
and cowsrdly deed, and then done
their victim to death and made q
martyr for the Prohibitionists, on
whose death they are to make more
